About: I took care of our family dog. I would walk him and play with him everyday. Friends and family always ask me to watch over their pets. I currently do not work so I have all the time in the world to take care of pets. I also love dogs and will take amazing care of each and every dog. There is no smoking in our house. There is a lot of space for the dog in our house. There is also a park across the street from my house.
“I cannot recommend Marie enough! Nova fell in love with her instantly and warmed up to her so quickly. Marie has such great energy, and you can tell she’s a genuinely kind and caring person.

About: I'm an avid pet lover I've owned all types of pets and cared for dogs since I was a young child. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I love spending time with dogs and giving them lots of love an affection. I currently own one dog, Scooby. He is a lab-basset mix and one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. We love going on hikes together and spending lots of time outside. I also have experience giving dogs oral medication. I live at home with my partner, Nick. We don't have any kids - so we treat our fur baby like our child. I'm currently in a job transition so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I walk Scooby twice a day (morning and evenings) and play with him in the afternoon. Whatever your dog's routine or unique needs - I will make sure to maintain it! I provide a loving, pet-friendly environment. My home is clean and secure, ensuring you pet's safety remains a top priority. Your pet will enjoy a routine that's consistent with their habits, including meals, walks, and play. I provide regular updates and photos of your pet's stay for peace of mind. I make sure to meet any specific needs or preferences you have for your pet's care. We have a backyard that is partially fenced in, but I never let our dog outside alone. Your dog will always be on leash when outside our house. Dogs can play in the backyard and we have direct access to hiking trails behind our house where we love to take Scooby on walks.
“Rose was attentive and caring, and made sure Lola had plenty of exercise and fun. My little came home happy and healthy, and the pictures from the day let me know she was having a good time. Messaging back and forth was quick and easy. I would request Rose again.”

“Patti took my two anxious standard poodles poodles for doggy care. She did everything she could to make them feel comfortable which I really appreciated. I liked that she opened her door to me and let me go inside with the dogs to help them settle in before leaving. I also love that she took them to the Fells for a nice walk. I would certainly go to Patti again. She was easy to communicate with and you can tell she genuinely cares for dogs.”
